Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 343 The Battle of Xingyang
Xiahou Dun had no fear on his face, and he raised his hand to defuse Cao Ning's offensive with a single shot.

Immediately Cao Ning and Xiahou Dun fought together, and the sound of "ping, ping, ping, pong, pong" continued to be heard. Cao Cao and others who were watching the battle not far away broke into a cold sweat for Xiahou Dun.

However, the worries of Cao Cao and others are a little superfluous. Xiahou Dun's force is not weak, even if he loses to Cao Ning, he will not lose in a short time.

At this moment, there was a loud shout of killing from the left side, and Xiong Kuo Hai's leading troops rushed out suddenly. Cao Cao urgently ordered Jing Si to lead his troops to fight Xiong Kuo Hai.

Before the shouts fell, the shouts of killing rose again from the right side. Deng Yuanjue led the troops to kill him brazenly. Cao Cao urgently ordered Cao Ren to lead the troops to face Deng Yuanjue.

At the same time, two more armies came out from Xieli, and the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si arrived, and Cao Cao hurriedly sent troops to fight.

The five armies arrived, Cao Cao was killed and defeated, and fled in a hurry after losing his soldiers and generals. Cao Cao fled to a barren mountain with the remnants of his defeated generals.

In the middle of the night, the night shrouded the earth, but the bright moonlight dispelled all the darkness, illuminating the sky and the earth like day.

Cao Cao ordered to bury the pot and make food. After all, after chasing for a long time and fleeing for a long time, the stomachs of the soldiers were already empty.

But not long after the pot was buried, there were shouts of killing from all sides, Xu Rong led Xiliang soldiers to fight out, and went straight to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hurriedly got on his horse and ran away, but ran into Xu Rong head-on. At this time, Jing Si and other generals were not with Cao Cao.

Xu Rong did not chase after Cao Cao, but took down the bow and arrow from behind, bent the bow and set the arrow, and shot Cao Cao in the back.

Cao Cao, who was running for the road, only felt a gust of wind behind him, and he subconsciously turned his body sideways, which saved him from being pierced by an arrow.

But Cao Cao still didn't dodge the arrow, Xu Rong's arrow hit Cao Cao's arm, Cao Cao let out a cry of pain, and sweat poured down his forehead.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to stop, so he had to escape with injuries.

Two Xiliang soldiers fell in the grass not far from Cao Cao's horse. Seeing Cao Cao urging the horse to catch up, they both swung their sabers and slashed at Cao Cao's horse's leg.

Cao Cao's war horse fell down in response, and Cao Cao was thrown with gold stars in his eyes and his face was ashamed.

Two Xiliang warriors hurried forward to capture Cao Cao to ask for credit, but before they could reach Cao Cao's side, a flying horse rushed over and chopped them down with two knives.

Immediately, the general quickly got off his horse and helped Cao Cao up. Cao Cao said with tears in his eyes, "Zi Lian, brother Yu almost died here! You leave quickly, you can't escape!"

Cao Hong didn't speak after hearing this, but directly entrusted Cao Cao to his horse.

Immediately Cao Hong smiled freely: "Brother, you can ride on my war horse, and my younger brother can walk on foot!"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "If Xiliang soldiers are chasing you, how will you escape?"

Cao Hong cupped his hands and said, "The world can live without Cao Hong, but it cannot live without you! Gossip less, brother, go!"

Cao Cao said with red eyes: "If brother Yu can escape today, he will never forget Zilian's life-saving grace!"

Cao Hong didn't speak, just took off his armor, and followed Cao Cao's horse tightly with a long knife.

But before Cao Cao had gone for a long time, there was a big river blocking the way ahead, and the shouts of killing were getting closer behind him.

Cao Cao smiled wryly and said: "It is God's will that Cao died here today, that's all!"

Cao Hong still didn't speak, but helped Cao Cao off the horse, carried Cao Cao on his back, and carried Cao Cao across the river.

After crossing the river, Cao Hong still did not let go of Cao Cao, because the pursuers behind had already reached the river.

Xiliang soldiers fired arrows across the water, Cao Hong dared not stop, even before wringing out the water from his clothes, he continued to flee for his life with Cao Cao on his back.

After fleeing for more than ten li, the sky had already brightened, and Cao Hong was a little exhausted, so he found a slope to hide, and put Cao Cao down to rest for a while.

Before waiting for a quarter of an hour, the shouts of killing came again, and a group of people rushed over, and the leading general waved the flag in the wind with a "Xu" character behind him.

Xu Rong yelled: "Cao Cao! You can't escape! Just capture him!"

At this time, Cao Cao was extremely embarrassed, his face was pale and bloodless, his helmet was lost somewhere, his hair was disheveled, and his lips were cracked.

When Cao Cao and Cao Hong were extremely anxious, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led their troops to kill them. Xiahou Dun shouted angrily: "The thief will stop hurting my lord!"

Xu Rong frowned and looked at Xiahou Dun. If he could fight Cao Ning regardless of victory or defeat, he would definitely not be his opponent.

At this moment, Jing Si, Yang Dayan and other generals also led their troops to kill them, Xu Rong led his troops away without hesitation.

Xiahou Dun, Jing Si and others were worried about Cao Cao, so they did not lead their troops to chase Xu Rong, so Xu Rong was able to retreat completely.

After Cao Cao joined Xiahou Dun and other generals, they first dealt with some arrow wounds, then gathered the remnants of the defeated generals, and retreated towards Luoyang City.

……

Time moves forward, and before Cao Cao hits the arrow, the fire in Luoyang City has been extinguished by the concerted efforts of all the princes.

Some princes from all walks of life stationed in Luoyang City, some stationed outside Luoyang City, and some even directly entered the palace to set up camp on the grounds that "there is no place to camp in the city".

Lu Bu didn't do such a mindless thing, and it's not like he hasn't been to the palace before, so why join in the fun?
So Lu Bu chose to set up camp outside the city. He sent someone to find a place near the water source, and saved the fire for a day. out of place.

Sun Jian also set up camp outside the city, and did not go to the palace to join in the fun.

It was night, the stars and the moon were shining together, and Sun Jian sat on the ground with his sword leaning on him in a daze.

After a long time, Sun Jian slowly raised his head to look up at the starry sky.

Seeing the white air in Ziweiyuan, Sun Jian sighed: "The emperor's star is unknown, the thieves and ministers are in chaos, the people are devastated, and the capital is empty!"

After saying that, Sun Jian burst into tears!

Early the next morning, Cao Cao arrived at Luoyang City with his defeated soldiers.

Because Cao Cao borrowed a lot of cavalry from other princes, when returning the soldiers and horses, except for Sun Jian, the other princes from all walks of life were quite critical of Cao Cao's defeat, and their words were full of ridicule.

Jing Si, Xiahou Dun and other generals glared at these princes, but Cao Cao stopped Xiahou Dun and other generals who were about to explode. After all, this matter was his fault. Even if the princes pointed at his nose and scolded him, Cao Cao couldn't say anything .

Yuan Shao didn't lose troops because he didn't lend troops to Cao Cao, so he acted as a peacemaker and exposed the matter.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered people to hold a banquet with wine, firstly to ask for credit for driving Dong Zhuo away, and secondly to relieve Cao Cao's boredom.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao got up with the wine glass and said: "We, the nineteen princes gathered together in Suanzao, began to promote righteousness and eliminate thieves for the country. Since everyone came here for righteousness, then you should persevere to the end, but yesterday we waited We could have taken advantage of the victory and pursued, captured Dong thief in one fell swoop, and welcomed the emperor back, but everyone stood still, and Luoyang city was in ruins. What is the difference between saving and not saving? When Cao borrowed troops, everyone lent them to Cao Some of them are old, weak and disabled soldiers, Cao was defeated and defeated, but you and others ridiculed Cao, if you and Cao pursued together, why did Cao fall into such a situation?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao drank the wine in the glass, and then laughed wildly: "Hahaha! So far, Cao is too drunk to drink, so I leave!"

The princes in the tent looked at each other, but they were speechless.

　The second watch arrives!Ask for tickets every day, thank you buddy!
